title: East and west, home is best? A questionnaire-based survey on mortality of Dutch travelers abroad.
abstract: A questionnaire-based survey on the mortality of Dutch travelers abroad revealed that travel outside of Europe carried an increased mortality risk predominantly caused by fatal cardiovascular events and traffic accidents rather than fatal infections. Discussion of these items should receive a prominent place in our travel health consultation.
